CLOT Has the Nike Cortez Covered

Nike’s Cortez may be wrapping up its 50th anniversary soon, but the celebration is just starting. According to a few wagging tongues, CLOT is next up to take a spin at the famed Nike model.
On December 11, new images revealed on-foot looks at the CLOT’s Nike Cortez sneaker collaboration, as spotted on the brand’s co-founder Edison Chen.

A few sources also shared up-close shots of the speculated shoe, which is rumored to release in 2023 in three colorways, including “Black Varsity Maize,” “Black White” (above), and the famed “Forrest Gump.”

In detailed imagery, the Cortez looks almost unrecognizable at the hand of CLOT, as the brand’s rendition boasts a black covering a la UGG’s shoe guards.
The “shield” nearly covers the entire shoe, save the laces, a smidgen of the signature white leather upper, and half a Swoosh (the remaining part of the logo finishes out on the covering).
It’s unknown whether the piece is removable or not, but I’m kind of into it — another win for CLOT.

Whispers of the CLOT’s Nike Cortez first circled the internet in October, just days after Chen teased the Hong Kong label’s fuzzy Converse shoes.
Early talks also mentioned that CLOT’s Cortez would include CLOT’s signature surprise element — hint, hint, the shoe’s covering — a design method evident in the brand’s see-through Air Max 1s, tearaway Forces, and gleaming Dunks.
